THE CYCLONE AT OZARK.
OZARK, Ark, April GA heavy wind
approached from several directions. The
currents met in the valley and passed up
canyon east OF town, about the head of
which the funnel appearance Of cyclone
was first seen. A tract three hundred
yards wide was laid almost entirely bare.
Timber and all sorts of improvements
were blown in every direction.
The residence OF James Worthy, where
the funnel first struck the ground, was
blown forty feet and leveled. He was
badly hurt, but his family escaped by not
being inside.

stroyed. One dwelling near by was lev

Kansas Heard From.
PRESCOTT, kas.. April 23.-The cyclone
that swept through this region Thursday
night, and left death and desolation to
mark its path, swept away the telegraph
wire, cutting off communication with
the outside world, SO that your corre-
spondent was unable to get
wire until it was too late to send
the full details Of the great calamity, or
to give anything like a description of. the
stu alton Of affairs. The loss of life and
destruction of property seems to have
been greater here than at other points
touched by the tornado, or cyclone. AS
Tor the destruction of property it can
best be covered in the statement that
three-fourths of the buildings in the place
were demolished or badly damaged. In
the confusion that prevailed all day it was
difficult to obtain correct list OF the
victims. A careful revision late last
night show your correspondent that the
following were killed:
Constable Jacob Stevens.
Mrs. Sarah Crone.
William McHale.
P. Flynn and three children.
Jacob Broach and wife.
Mrs. Richard Harkness.
Mrs. Douglas Walter and infant.
An infant of S. p Denning.
Infant of Joe Duncan.
A six-year-old child of Will McHale
The seriously injured are:
Jim Waldridge, arm broken.
Ed. Horn, back hurt and arm broken.
George White, arm broken.
j. G. Kinsey, severe contusions.
VIM. Campbell, struck by timbers and
it is feared will die.
On the farm of Richard Hardness, he,
with his wife, four children and Miss Min
NECK, of Oakwood, Ill, visiting the family,
were in the house. The building was
taken up bodily, carried two hundred
yards and dropped in an orchard, crash
ing upon a large apple tree. All the oc-
cupants were hurt very seriously and
Mrs. Hartness was killed.
The force of the storm was appalling,
and wonderful freaks were performed by
the wind. 1t is reported that several per.
sons were killed at Blue Mound and Ma.
pleton.
